while I do agree it was cruel and if it was one of mine I would have punched her (not that mine would go missing for that long without notice) I do think it sad that because it is on film there is all this publicity, we all know that cruelty goes on daily and shooting and torturing of animals are not rare, people on this forum have taken cats from circumstances beyond vile such as whole groups living in cupboards and poor Willow and Oliver still haunt me

I will say again I agree it was very wrong but maybe the publicity is misdirected

I'm not trying to cause trouble but needed to say it

I am totally with Dawn on this one, though in truth I would have put things more strongly, I have rescued cats that have been placed in bins as trash, I have seen kittens crushed as a result and nursed wounded litter mates back to health. I am not the only rescue that deals which such atrocities, I note RSPCA quickly got a fund up and running pity they weren`t as quick to show pictures of cats who were placed in bins by callous owners, a complete waste of an oportunity to educate so they can rake in the money. As for said cats owners they would fail one of my home checks.This whole story infuriates me and BORES me.

I think the thing with this is that it WAS caught on CCTV so she can be dealt with, how many acts of unthinklable cruelty go unreported or unchallenged because there is 'no evidence'. In this case the mindless act was captured on CCTV so there is proof beyond doubt.

I think the death threat business is ridiculous though and cheapens the cause.

The FB thing is a bit ridiculous though. Apparently it wasn't a criminal offence - Surely if cats are regarded as property, someone disposing of your property is as good as theft?

I am fed up with reading things like "why are people making such a big thing out of a cat in a bin when our boys are dying in Afghanistan" etc. - as well as the "they kill birds and poo in my garden" - morons

I think she should be arrested or sectioned. I am surprised they haven't taken her in for a mental health assessment.

As for *that woman*... bring it on! Job loss and all! She's needs to get it back 10-fold. How can anyone with a heart think it's 'funny' to drop a friendly, purring live cat into a dustbin and shut the lid on it? The conclusion is that she doesn't have a heart, does she?

If she seemed remorseful I'd feel a bit sorry for her (and I mean only a tiny tiny amount!). Had she said "I don't know what came over me and I know it's a cruel thing to do and I regret it", I think a lot of people would feel a little less hateful towards her. But to say she doesn't know what all the fuss is about and that it's "only a cat". Not doing herself any favours is she?

I don't read newspapers at all, haven't for over 20 years in fact. I do read a few articles online though.

Just read this Sun linky, Mark. Excellent pictures... boy is little Lola creaming in the gooodies as a bit of informal compensation! She even has THREE copies of The Sun to line her tray with.

I think a serious warning is needed for all Purrs Kitties. I think they should all know that placing themselves in wheelie bins and saying a humanz did it will not give them world wide attention and a tantalising array of goodies

On a serious note, I can't believe she has come out and said what she has. If she hadn't said anything, she might have been ok. Now she's just gone and opened up a can of worms and made it 100% worse for herself

I just googled for an update and that was the first that came up - I don't rely on The Sun for cutting edge news

I remember years ago when my mum announced that my dad wasn't happy as she had banned The Sun 'newspaper' from the house. I asked which paper they were having in its place - she said "The Daily Mail"

I like the th way The Sun includes the important information "Tracked to her shabby terraced house"

Apparently, she doesn't understand what all the fuss is about 'It's just a cat' - she is worried about the effect on her father who is on hospital - well she should realise that we are responsible for our actions

Sorry Yvonne we can not have these details posted on Purrs for legal reasons...............if the facebook link contains the same that is their problem but there has already been one name put on Purrs that was incorrect which came from FB. I believe that it would be so inappropriate if the wrong person was named and shamed.

Please Purrs peeps do not put the name of the woman on here for legal reasons.

I know the links name her but we do not need to be caught up by any flack from this..............I am sure there is going to be loads as it has gone natioinal. The links are from other sites that can look after themselves.

I am sure we all are appalled by what has happened but the RSPCA hopefully will do their job!

Can an FB memeber tell Lisa Tinsley that is because she is a scummy chav!

People who are ill just do the act, they don't scan the horizon to see if the coast is clear before doing it. They are not that self aware.

To be honest I really thought it was a wind up when I first saw it. I could not comprehend a mature person would do such a wicked thing. Now it's been proved it wasn't a wind up, all I can think is that this woman had some kind of grudge against cats in general or maybe even she thought it was a different cat that had been peeing on her roses.

I do not buy the mother's statement at all... I mean, what else is she going to say given the circumstances?

You don't have to be a qualified psychologist to derive the fact that sadly this women is clearly suffering some form of psychiatric disorder. She should be taken into a secure mental home where she can be diagnosed and treated propperly.

If I am wrong then she should be incarcerated for being a cold, wicked and evil person.

Question 1. If the cat had been a 3 year old child would she have been charged for any crime?

Question 2. If the bin were emptied into a rubbish truck and the child was subsequently crushed and killed, would she be charged for manslaughter?

Regards,Andy

Well, my opinion on that is -no she is not menatally ill -but a sly conniving evil who clearly knew what she was doing by even looking around to see if anyone was watching her .In relation to the other questions -Yes, there would be an outcry if it was a child and she would be charged and held in custody and jailed -which as far as i am concerned -my cats are more important to me than anybody -that includes family and i have no children anyway and in all honesty not much patience with most that i know which fortuantely for me is very few-but i consider he fact that a cats life is as important as a humans -more so in many cases !

Okay, so it may be mob rule but justice isn't going to be served any other way. I don't wish any physical harm to this woman... but I do wish her many sleepless night of contemplation on what she has done.

Spot on, any 'punishment' given if she is prosecuted would be pathetic and I'm more than happy that she is probably herself about everyone knowing what an evil person she is

What's worse - a few hours community service and a small fine (if that!) or being caught in the act and publicly 'shamed' on the headlines of every news channel in the UK and in many other countries round the world along with being in every national newspaper. Priceless!
